A 78-year-old passenger aboard a Qantas flight was forced to downgrade from Business Class to Economy despite having pre-purchased a ticket, in what is yet another addition to a row of controversies against the national carrier.

“I said ‘look thanks for your very, very generous offer but I don’t really think I can take it, I’d be a hypocrite’.
